Su Wan's surgery on the King of Xirong was very successful, and she won the support of the Xirong generals and soldiers.

On the first day after the surgery, she and Wei Jingzhuo had roasted lamb leg for breakfast, roasted lamb chops for lunch, and roasted naan with lamb for dinner. They ate with great relish.

The day after the surgery, she and Wei Jingzhuo had mutton offal soup for breakfast, mutton noodles for lunch, and cold mutton head salad for dinner. They ate with gusto, licking their lips and wiping their mouths.

On the third day after the surgery, the Xirong army slaughtered a cow for her. She had beef soup for breakfast and grilled beef steak for lunch…

That evening, she felt uneasy and secretly took the weighing scale out of her apartment before dinner.

Before stepping on the scale, she made a point of going to the toilet, then took off all her heavy clothes and shoes, and nervously closed her eyes as she stepped onto the scale.

The electronic scale beeps, indicating the results are in.

She wanted to look, yet dared not. After struggling for a long time, she steeled herself, opened her eyes, and quickly scanned them on the scale.

That's terrifying.

The numbers on the scale terrified her more than Lupin's spiked arrows.

Enraged, she grabbed the scale and threw it back into her apartment.

Wei Jingzhuo came in and saw her sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, her eyes red and swollen as if she had been crying. He asked, "Awan, what's wrong? You were so happy at noon."

Su Wan didn't want to talk about sad things, so she said, "I'm tired of eating meat. I'll just drink water tonight."

Wei Jingzhuo said, "Just drinking water won't do. People need to eat something, you have to eat something. The maids specially asked the cook to make beef pies, using the best front leg meat, with thin crusts and generous fillings..."

"Stop nagging. I said I'm not eating, and I'm not eating."

Su Wan huffed and puffed, then rolled over onto the bed and pulled the blanket over her head.

Wei Jingzhuo thought he had done something wrong and accidentally made Su Wan angry, so he sat down on the edge of the bed and gently comforted her, "Ah Wan, I know I did something wrong again. I shouldn't have..."

As he pondered what he had done wrong, Su Wan's muffled voice came from under the covers: "It has nothing to do with you."

Wei Jingzhuo became even more certain that he had offended Su Wan.

Seeing that Su Wan was ignoring him, he decided to do something to make amends and went out of the tent to find Luna.

Luna was drinking and eating meat with a group of Western Rong generals around a campfire. Wei Jingzhuo approached, pulled Luna aside, and whispered, "Do you Western Rong have any special delicacies?"

Luna was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Why do you ask that, young master?"

Wei Jingzhuo rarely showed an embarrassed expression: "Awan wants to eat."

Luna revealed an expression of understanding: "I understand. Miss Su is not used to our local cuisine. No problem, I often eat at restaurants in Youzhou and know how you cook in Great Jin. I'll arrange it and make sure Miss Su is satisfied."

The other Western Rong generals echoed, "Luna is right. The goddess has healed the king, but feeding her only the army's coarse food is indeed not enough. Have the cook prepare a feast, made in the style of the Great Jin Dynasty."

Wei Jingzhuo was still somewhat uneasy and asked Lu Na, "Are there any cooks in the army who can cook Jin cuisine?"

"Yes, young master, don't worry," Luna assured confidently. "I'll make the arrangements. You can bring Miss Su over for a meal later."

The banquet went very smoothly. A whole table of food was laid out, and a large group of people ate with Su Wan, showing her the utmost respect. Su Wan was probably deeply moved; she ate while crying, and cried while eating…

After returning, she kicked Wei Jingzhuo out of the tent.

Wei Jingzhuo squatted outside the door for half the night, but still couldn't figure out what he had done wrong.

The next morning, a maidservant came to report to Su Wan that the King of Xirong was now able to get out of bed with assistance. He had already summoned his generals to the royal tent and invited the goddess and Young Master Wei to come along.

Su Wan and Wei Jingzhuo entered the royal tent accompanied by two commanders of ten thousand. The Western Rong King Danmoji was already seated on his throne, his belly covered with a thick blanket. The Western Rong generals stood in two rows below him.

Compared to three days ago, Danmoji looks much better.

Seeing Su Wan enter, he raised his hand and said, "Goddess, I am unable to leave my tent and can only be greeted by my generals. Please forgive me."

Su Wan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, there's no need for such formalities."

Servants brought over two elegant chairs and placed them next to Danmoji. Su Wan didn't stand on ceremony and sat down with Wei Jingzhuo.

“Bring Lupin.” Danmoji’s voice changed from calm to stern.

A moment later, two soldiers brought Lupin, who was bound hand and foot, into the tent. Seeing the disdainful looks of the generals in the tent, Lupin seemed to know that he could not escape punishment, and lowered his head in silence.

“Lupin, you should remember what I said before,” Dun Mogi said slowly, “If you offend again, I will cut off your head. Drag him out and behead him.”

Su Wan shook her head slightly as she saw that Lupin had met his just end.

The crime of regicide is inherently unforgivable.

The soldiers carried Lupin out of the tent, and Danmoji said again, "Bring Luna in."

Luna entered the tent, knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face: "This humble servant greets Your Majesty."

Danmoji asked, "Luna, are you grieving for your brother?"

Luna wiped away her tears and said, "My brother assassinated the king. Even if he were to be torn to pieces, it wouldn't atone for his sins. But he is still my brother, so I'm a little sad."

He didn't have a good impression of his older brother, especially after learning that Lupin would kill him. But since they were born of the same mother, he still shed tears.

Danmoji nodded: "Your brother committed an unforgivable crime and deserved it. You protected the goddess more than once in this incident, so I have decided to reward you and promote you to commander of ten thousand, replacing your brother."
